StatsGuru Filters for Ruwan Kalpage


Profile:

A combative all-round cricketer Kalpage has been a handy performer in the shorter format of the game where his allround skill makes him a valuable utility player. In the Test arena his appearances have been far more infrequent as he has struggled to find a defining role in the team, not being strong enough to warrant a position as either a batsman or bowler. A left handed batsman capable of playing some forceful knocks in the lower order, at domestic level he can be regarded as a genuine batsman. His canny offspin provides a useful option for the captain, with the ability to maintain a tidy line and length, though at international level his bowling lacks penetration. Kalpage compliments his tidy allround skills by being a solid performer in the field.

At Test level his bowling has not been an effective weapon failing to take more than two wickets in an innings in 11 tests. With the bat he played some belligerent innings but is considered a lower order batsman. For these reasons it seems he will remain on the fringes of the international arena, and in recent years his opportunities have been limited by the emergence of Upal Chandana (Johann P Jayasekera , Sep 1999)
